Aussies just got a real spanking from Sri Lanka 'because they can't play spin' according to the Aussie commentator. The Aussies have gone downhill from the Border/Waugh era so the Ashes look set to be in English hands for a while

I have a love-hate relationship with the Australian cricket team. On the one hand, the Aussies' are arrogant, whiny, do not play the game in the right spirit, confrontational, and have an annoying one-eyed commentary team.

In saying that, due to the reasons mentioned above; beating them gives me so much pleasure and satisfaction. There is no better feeling as a fan when our unheralded, less talented Blackcaps overcomes the favourites in a tight contest. Victories against the Aussies are the most memorable.

Moreover, I really respect the skills of the Aussies and admire how they still remain competitive despite the retirements of Ponting, McGrath, Gilchrist, and Warne.
